We have a question of why there are heaven and hell and of who create them. In a Buddh- ist sense, we truely see that no God creates our own heaven and hell.We ourselves create them. We are the creaters of our own heavenေပင္

Life is great opportunity for us
Life is not only a birth, a living and a death; it is an opportunity as well. When you have a life, you have an opportunity to do what you want to do and to be what you want to be, but you should know what should be done and what should be avoided. What you should do is more important than what you want to do. Life is to practise what is good and to refrain from what is evil. To practise what is good means to do the right things such as: doing public services and public responsibilities, helping those who need your helps and doing for the social welfares and so on. These are golden chances for you while you live. Don't miss them.
To refrain from what is bad means to avoid doing the wrong things such as; Thefts, robberies, kidnapping and murders, etc. Doing good things bring you happiness. Peace and harmong. In contrast, doing bad things give you pain and suffering. Think twice before something wrong is done. We have a question of why there are heaven and hell and of who create them. In a Buddhist sense, we truely see that no God creates our own heaven and hell. We ourselves create them. We are the creaters of our own heaven and hell and the masters of our own fates. Eighter you like heaven or you like hell. Life gives you a chance to choose it.
Life is a duty to fullfil in the places which are badly in needs of everything a duty to lift up human morals and also a duty to do noble deeds: doing for one' own welfare as well as for the other' welfare. Buddha himself performed the three noble duties; there are:1 Doing for the world (Lokattha cariya), 2 Doing for relatives and nation (Nyatatthacariya), 3 Doing for himelf (Budd-hatthacariya) in the Buddha Numerous Past lives, He never used the world for himself; he always used himself for the world. This is a good example to the world`s citizens. The great things and dedicate their lives in the great works. Remember that we have two hands, two eyes and two ears, it is better to use one for ourselves and share the another with others.
Let our hearts and minds be a home for kindness, compassion and love; don't let them be a house for anger, greed, selfishness and illusion. Anger, greed and illusion blind us in order not to see the truth. War, terrorism, discrimination, misunderstanding and hatred are being brought into our world because of our anger, greed, selfishness and delusion. A mind without a wisdom and a heart without a compassion are just like a garden full of weeds without flowers. To live a life meaningfully and beautifully, we need wisdom, compassion, love in kindness just like fish to water and roses to rain.
Think carefully that how many lives, cities and centuries have been destroyed and ruined, but our anger, greed, selfishness and hatred can never be lessened. Instead they become bigger and bigger. It is true that we can not escape from death, aging and ailment but we can get free from anger, greed and illusion if we practise enough. If our anger, greed, selfishness and delusion can be driven away. War terrorism and discrimination will be automatically disappeared. At that time, our world would be bloomed with justice, peace and equality.
If we know what the essence of life is, we can gain and benefit a lot from it. If we live our lives carelessly without a deep thinking, we have nothing, we will lose it. Death is not the greatest loss in life; the greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. Don't let wisdom, compassion and love die inside us, let them flower in our hearts and minds. Life give us a golden opportunity to meet, love and help one another. We are not to hate, despise and oppress one another. To be in harmony with our neighbors and society, our action, words and thoughts should be adapted to them. Always keep in mind that "we can not change the direction of the wind but we can adjust our sails".
In order not hurt others, we must be careful of what we say and do. Words should be soft and gentle. The Japanese proverb says that "a kind word can warm the three months winter." My saying goes that "your kind smile can keep my heart warm for seven days and seven years". Action should be righteous. Those who are worthy of respect should be respected and the people who are worthy of honour should be honoured; these are blessings. If we live in law and order (the Dhamma), the law (the Dhamma) rules and protects us. You don't have to worry about being hated, criticized and gossiped. What is important is that you must try to be kind to people and accept them and love them. Always bear in mind that "Love begets love" and "kindness begets kindness". You will be reciprocated.
Sometimes you have to lose and fail, sometimes life doesn't happen as you expect. Anyway don't give up your goal, never turn back half way. Remember that we can not see the stars without the darkness. "Failure is only the another opportunity to try again more intelligently and more carefully". "Don't see a glass of water as a half empty, see it as a half full", by seeing so, you will be inspired and encouraged. You need strength and courage to achieve your goal. You also need a patience to be able to over come all the hardships, obstacles and hindrances on the way you go.
"Patience is a bitter plant but it produces sweet fruits". It is completely 100% important in every action. Patience is a key to success. Patience, symphaty, forgiveness and understanding bring us the atmosphere of peace in our society. Rain falls on all the field, but crops, fruits and flowers blossom only in the soils where the seeds are sown. If we want to have peace, justice and equality everywhere on our earth, the seeds of love and compassion, the seeds of forgiveness and understanding should be planted in the hearts and minds of every universal citizen.
Life is too precious, value it. Human life is very rare and difficult to obtain. Therefore cherish your life. Don't spend your life meaning lessly and foolishly. As life give us happiness, peace and rapture, It can give us pain and suffering as well. If we don't know how to live, life is full of sadness and sorrow. Because of our anger, selfishness and hatred, our friends turned to our enemies white turned to black and nectar turned to poison and vice versa. We are all born here on this world only for a short visit. Don't forget to practise noble deeds which can create heaven on our earth. Don't worry and don't hurry, remember to smell the flowers on the way we walk. Life is a great opportunity for us, let's benefit from it.
May love and peace prevail all over the world!

The amazing History of Mi Ta La Htaw, a Mon heroine
History is the blood of Nation; a nation without a history can not stand like a man without blood can not be alive. Therefore, a history should not be forgotten by its people and it should be remembered all the time. Knowing histories let us realize who we are, where we come from and what a nation is. I don’t think it is wrong to say that histories are as important as our blood just like water to fish.
This time I want to mention about Mi Ta La Htaw’s amazing story. Her story had been already written and mentioned in some history books. You may have read and heard about her. She is one of the bravest and the most pious Mon maiden in Buddhism. Although she had passed away for a long time, her braveness, glory and name are still living in history. She should be remembered and honoured by Mon of nowadays as well as Mon in the future, our next generations. This is the main purpose to write and tell her story again in the future of Mon magazine.
Her maiden name was Bhadradevi. Now she is well-known and being called as Mi Ta La Htaw. At the time of her life was the time when king Tissa ruled the land of Pegu (Hongsarwatoi) A.D in the years 1043-57. He was a heretic king of Pegu. He made no obeisance to Buddha and never listened to the Dhamma (The Law). He honoured and worshiped the Brahmans. He threw down the images of Buddha into Ditches and marshes.
At that time, Mi Ta La Htaw was a certain merchant’s daughter who believed in the true religion. She was a village maiden. Since she was ten years old. (from her tenth year up) she went out with her parents to listen to Dhamma (The Law). She continually heard the Dhamma talks. She had exceeding great joy in the three gems. Everyday she recited the three names of refuge carefully. The time when she was in her first youth was the time when the king cast down the images of Buddha. At that time, she went down to bathe. By chance she thrust her hand against an image of Buddha.and then she drew it up. It glistened with gold. She asked her old slave women who had cased the image to be cast away. They answered her that the king followed the words of false teachers. Verily he was the one who caused the images of Buddha to be cast away.
“Whoever greets and honours or bows before Buddha at the Pagodas, the king will kill him or her” Thus said the slave women. When she heard their words, she said bravely like this, “I obey the three gems and I can endure death. At first wash the image clean and set them up at a pagoda.” she herself and her slave women washed it and set it up at a pagoda. As she was setting up the image, these things were told to the king. And then the king sent his men to call her. She said to the king’s men, “let me abide here before the image”. After saying that, she made haste to wash every image of Buddha as many as she found there and set every one of them up. After a time, the king sent more men. When the maiden, Mi Ta La Htaw, came before the king , she told him what she had done. But he listened to her with anger and commanded his men to take her to the elephant which might trample her to death. And then she did something gentle to soften the king, the elephants and the elephant-men and she continually said,” I take refuge in the lord” and she called on the three names of refuge(Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha ). The elephant dared not tread on her but he roared with his voice. The elephant- men could not make him run at her. Many many times they brought other elephants, but no elephant dared not tread on her.
So the king’s men told the king in fear. When the king heard these things; he told his men to cover her with straw for the funeral pyre. But the maiden caused gentleness to work again and she called on the three names of refuge. The king’s men stirred themselves to burn her, yet she wasn’t burned. Therefore, they were in fear and told the king about her amazing and extra ordinary powers which she gain from the triple gems. Thus said the king “ Bring her here .” They brought her to the king and he said, “O maiden! When I see the image of Buddha, your teacher, can fly up into heaven, then I let you live. But if there are about seven images or eight images of Buddha can not fly up, I will have you cut into seven pieces”.
And he had her led to the foot of the ditch and she prayed on like this, “O image of the lord of bliss! I, your hand maiden, set up your images. Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha are lord everywhere. As the three gems are lord everywhere, so may eight images of Buddha fly up into the king’ s hall’’ in the twinkling of an eye, there flew eight images up in to heaven and flew towards the king’ s hall.The maiden, Mi Ta La Htaw, returned and pointed them out to the king. The king and his many men saw the images of Buddha flying up, it was a wander far and wide.
Then said the maiden, “O earthly King ! Buddha, my teacher, is gone to nirvana. You have been able to see only his images fly up into heaven in his stead. You have followed false teachers and called them better. Let your people see them fly up.” Then the king commanded his teachers to fly. But the wrong teachers could not fly, not even one foot height. And the king drove them away and he caused the maiden, Mi Ta La Htaw, to bathe and he raised her to be his chief queen. The king returned thanks and followed the true religion, Buddhism ever after.
According to Mi Ta La Htaw’s history, one who has a strong will and a strong confidence in the triple gems is safe; no one can harm him or her. If you practise Dhamma (The law) Dhamma protects you back. After reading This true life of Mi Ta la Htaw, I hope every one of you (our readers) can be inspired and can have more devout and piety in Buddhism. With the helps and the powers of the triple gems, Mi Ta la Htaw had ability and a power to be able to convert the king into Buddhism. If you practise Buddhism enough like Mi Ta La Htaw, you are safe and secure everywhere you go.
